>how would the build structure that automatically install buil
dependencies make sure that all the necessary addons for that paticular
document would be installed?

In my thought, the "real" package would be all-texlive (like what you
said would be easier for you), replacing the currently hundreds of
packages texlive is split into.  This completeness ensures build
dependencies are satisfied.

The "fake" one  would be for the user who just wants to install his own
packages with tlmgr/script and doesn't use them as a dependency for any
autobuilding.  Thus, it would be safe to pretend they've been provided
with all-texlive.  The point is, this is already what we do with manual
install, and it should be available in apt-get without new people having
to take an hour figuring out how.

I care because I want new people's job to be easier.  And I want your
job to be easier.  But if consolidating into one package truly isn't an
option due to people wanting to autobuild only part of texlive, then
I'll shut up now.
